How to hexedit RecEnv.exe

[Kullenen_Ask]

Because of space issues i am removing other languages keyboard and .nls files from system32 folder. When i start recenv.exe it shows a list of keyboard options. Because of missing files if the user clicks on an absent language recenv.exe gives an error message and wants to reboot. How can i remove the keyboard options inside of the red square (There are also another languages at following pages). Explanation will be enough. I can use resource hacker and hexworkshop. I try zeroing some of de-de,zh-cn etc without luck.

I've been started searching for this exact same thing for a couple of days now for DaRT 8.1 x64. I want to completely bypass the keyboard layout screen, or at the very least only show "US". But no luck so far. I though maybe if I added the follow three commands to winpeshl.ini in front of recenv.exe that it might do it, but I guess not:

• %systemdrive%\windows\system32\wpeutil.exe SetKeyboardLayout 0409:00000409
• %systemdrive%\windows\system32\wpeutil.exe SetMuiLanguage en-US
• %systemdrive%\windows\system32\wpeutil.exe SetUserLocale en-US

Let me know if you ever figure it out.

Does it do this *because* you had removed files? I have not seen this screen before.

Maybe you misunderstand me or my english not so perfect. That page is standart page when you run it in a normal system. It gives error when clicked on the other language options (inside red zone) because i deleted that languages from wim. Also bypass it can be a good option.

Looking at the "recenv.exe.mui" en-us file on W7 winre.wim. I see this in DIALOG 107, maybe I would look in same dialog on new winre.wim. (resource hacker)

Ok wait. I think maybe you are using recenv.exe from a Windows 8 system. I have not used that yet.
